Topic: harvesting Brevibacterium linens (Read 1855 times)

hey all! just curious - i want to make a Taleggio - like... now. my local homebrew shop (which is where i buy my cultures) doesn't have any B. linens in stock...it'll be about a week... i was wondering if i could harvest a suitable culture from the rind of another taleggio or limburger or what have you.... if so, what sort of method should i use? maybe just scrape rind into my ripening milk? thoughts? suggestions?

well see, that's what i was wondering. the recipen (both that i'm looking at) says to sprinkle the B. linens into the ripening milk... am i good to go if i just use it as a wash after the make? if so, problem solved.
